BulkMarineTerminalOperationsCareers

The maritime industry has many participants making sure that the everyday products we use get to our homes If the product needs to cross an ocean, then it will move through a marine terminal.

A marine terminal is a location where a vessel will come to dock and either unload the cargo or the vessel will get loaded with cargo. There are different types of terminals and the more familiar ones are those that berth container vessels and those that berth bulk vessels. For example, SeaGate Terminals, in Chesapeake, VA, is a bulk terminal that specializes in warehousing the cargo with two teams: Customer Service and Operations

The Operations team consists of Material Handlers and Operators. Material Handlers do mostly general labor work and can move up to the operator positions. Operators work with Heavy Equipment – they load trucks, move the material and load the conveyor systems that load the ships These employees also load the ships with specialized remotes and equipment. They work with the ship’s captain or mate to make sure the cargo is loaded correctly in the holds. Railcar Loading workers load the railcars using an automated system of conveyors, elevator towers, and surge hoppers.

The Customer Service team consists of the Shipping Clerks Shipping Clerks handle a lot of the front-end tasks, such as checking trucks in and out and managing inbound railcars. They enter shipment quantities into the reports, handle inventory tracking and discrepancies, issue documents after weighing trucks or railcars, answer phones and help with customer questions and orders.

These positions are regularly available at the local terminals and require little training to get started in one of these roles.

the industry sectors-port operations, transportation, warehousing and distribution are possible because of the work of logistics professionals.

According to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, logistics management is “the part of the supply chain management that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customers’ requirements.”

Logistics activities related to Virginia’s ports account for over 2,000 employees and over $100 million in wages. Logistics professionals manage, track and coordinate the steps that allow the cargo supply chain to function

efficiently Logistics activities ensure that once a container leaves the port, its contents arrive intact at the right destination in a safe and cost-effective manner. Logistics professionals manage a number of activities including inbound and outbound transportation management, fleet management, warehousing, order fulfillment, inventory management, scheduling and customer service. Further, logistics management integrates logistics activities with other functions including marketing, sales, manufacturing, finance, and information technology.

According to The Journal of Commerce, logistics companies and the need for more logistics professionals will grow as the amount of imports and exports in and out of U.S. ports rises. As global trade and commerce increases and businesses become more dependent on global operations, their supply chains become more complex. Logistics firms are continuously looking for innovative ways to be more cost effective and efficient Supply chain professionals often derive a strong a sense of purpose from their chosen career path. “Supply chain has become a dinner conversation in peoples’ homes. That is getting people interested in degrees in the supply chain, and it has opened their eyes to the tech companies and how they can support supply chains. People are interested in coming up with more ideas of how to do it better.”[2]

g professionals who enter the supply chain sector enjoy their ers and see opportunities for advancement. According to a y conducted by The Council of Supply Chain Management essionals (CSCMP), Penske Logistics and Korn Ferry, 99% of ly chain professionals under 30 agree it is a good career ce and 97% would recommend it to others

rding to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook book, the median pay for logistics professionals in 2022 was $77,520 per year or $37.27/hour. The job field is expected to grow by 18% (much faster than average) over the next 10 years.[3] Among young professionals in supply chain, 86% say they make enough to live on, and 75% share they are financially comfortable with their compensation. [4]

Further, the effects of the pandemic and supply constraints have increased the general public’s focus on the supply chain. It is certainly a career field worth exploring for young people interested in an exciting, fast-paced and challenging career where you can make a difference.

FreightTransportation

There are many careers in the freight transportation and intermodal goods movement sector of the maritime industry. Thousands of workers are needed to deliver cargo to businesses throughout the nation Once containers or bulk cargoes are shipped or flown to the U.S. and arrive at the ports, they need to be transported to local businesses via trucks and trains. Portrelated transportation in Hampton Roads alone accounts for over 4,000 truck and rail employees and over $150 million in wages. Upon leaving the port, containers are put on truck, rail or barge for transport to the cargo’s ultimate destination. The most costeffective shipping option is determined by the logistics professionals. Truck drivers and rail operators deliver freight to nearby retail warehouses and distribution centers, while barge operators primarily transport cargo to other ports

According to the US Department of Labor, the transportation industry is one of the 14 industries classified as a high growth, high demand, economically vital sector of the American economy. Countless industries depend on the freight transportation sector to deliver goods that are vital to the success of their businesses. Nearly 2 million drivers, mechanics, warehouse workers and others are a part of the U.S. trucking, transportation and warehousing sector. Careers in freight transportation are wide-ranging and require specific training depending on your choice of truck, rail, or barge transportation.

GettingStartedinaCareerinTrucking

Unlike many other degrees or certification programs, the financial investment to enter the trucking profession is not as substantial, making entry into the field more accessible. What you need to enter the profession is a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) The cost ranges from $3,000 to $8,000 to attend a private truck driving school or community college program. It is possible to obtain your CDL training without paying for a private course if you agree to enter a short term (1-2 years) contract with one of the larger trucking companies who provide an internal training program.

While there are required trainings and certifications that go into getting your CDL, the financial gain is usually worth it for a career as a truck driver. Once you have completed the written skills test with the State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and pass a road test, you will be issued a Class A Endorsement Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).

Professional truck drivers can transport containers, domestic vans, tankers or flatbed trailers. They can go on the road and see the country, or keep regular hours and be home every night. Whether you drive for a small or large company utilizing company-owned equipment or own your own truck and work as an independent driver, being a professional truck driver can be a rewarding career both financially and professionally

Many truck drivers make a very good living with a high sense of satisfaction and pride in their profession. They know they play a vital role in the country's economy transporting goods and equipment that people rely on every day.

The demand for the transportation of goods ensures a continuous demand for professional truck drivers, contributing to job security even in uncertain economic times

WarehousingandDistributionCareers

The Distribution and Warehousing sector of the maritime industry gets the cargo that comes in the port one step closer to commercial use. After cargo containers are taken from the container terminals, they are brought to distribution centers, where the cargo is processed for further transport to retail stores or sale directly from the warehouse Hundreds of workers are required to manage the cargo during this important step in its travel route. Port-related distribution and warehousing activities in Virginia account for thousands of jobs and over $40 million in wages.

A distribution center is a warehouse or building dedicated to the storage and redistribution of products to retailers and wholesalers. These centers are often located in intermodal* parks, where port-related businesses like trucking companies, train depots and logistics providers co-locate with distribution cent for convenience, efficiency and transportation cost-savings.

Distribution center employees help move the cargo to its ultim destination by unloading cargo containers, then storing, combining, and repacking their contents into domestic trailers for transport to retail stores. Some distribution centers, such a those run by industrial supply companies, sell their goods direc to the consumer from the warehouse.

While managers and administrative employees such as Human Resources and Information

Technology Specialists are needed to work in distribution centers, the majority of warehouse employees work physically handling freight.

TheApprenticeSchool

https://www.as.edu/

The Apprentice School at Newport News Shipbuilding was founded in 1919 and is the preeminent apprenticeship program in the nation. The school offers 4-, 5-, and 8-year apprenticeships in 19shipbuilding disciplines and eight advanced programs of study.

The Apprentice School is accredited by the Commission of the Council on Occupational Education and registered with the Virginia Apprenticeship Council and offers apprentices the opportunity to earn college credit, receive competitive pay and benefits, and learn a trade.

The school is committed to fostering apprentices’ development of craftsmanship, scholarship and leadership.

Because of the unique nature of apprenticeship, The Apprentice School and its leadership are structured within Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries HII is a global engineering and defense technologies provider. The Apprentice School provides quality training and education for Newport News Shipbuilding.

The apprenticeship program is different from a 2-or 4-year college program in that the registered apprenticeship offered by the school is a full-time job Apprentices are selected and hired to the program as vacancies occur. On-the-job training and trade theory courses in assigned shipbuilding disciplines begin immediately after hire. An apprentice’s work week is devoted to rigorous academic and trade theory course work and on-the-job training in shipbuilding trades. Academic course work begins within the first 6 months of apprenticeship.

Students who began their apprenticeship on or after July 27, 2020 will graduate with an associate of applied science degree in their assigned trade. All apprentices graduate with a certificate of apprenticeship. Apprentices who excel in the World Class Shipbuilder Curriculum, Trade Related Education Curriculum and their shipbuilding discipline may be considered for an advanced discipline, where they complete strategically timed on-the-job training and academic coursework toward an associate degree offered in partnership with a local community college.

ShipbuildingDisciplines

Apprentices complete 1,000 hours of course work in the Trade-Related Education Curriculum (TREC) and World Class Shipbuilder Curriculum (WCSC) The curricula complement on-the-job training with a strong foundation in shipbuilding discipline theory and prepare apprentices to further their education.

MerchantMarinerCredentials(MMC)

All mariners employed aboard United States (U.S.) merchant vessels greater than 100 Gross Register Tons (Domestic Tonnage), except operators of uninspected passenger vessels, are required to have a valid U S MMC An MMC is not a guarantee of finding work, but rather a certification allowing you to work in the shipboard merchant marine industry.

With an MMC, you may work in the deck, engineering, or steward’s departments of a ship. Where you can work and what you can do will depend on the type of endorsement(s) you hold.

The deck department is concerned mainly with the navigation and operation of a ship. The engineering department is concerned mainly with the propulsion and maintenance of the machinery on a ship.

The steward’s department is concerned mainly with the supplies and food services on a ship

You may apply for an MMC at any of the 17 Coast Guard Regional Examination Centers (RECs). The steps to apply for an MMC are located on the US Coast Guard website here: https://www.dco.uscg.mil/nmc/merchant mariner credential/
